that could revolutionize the way we make things. this promotional video from samsung shows one view of the kind of gadgets but could emerge. paper thin, flexible, three- dimensional. there is a huge potential, according to the scientist who started the research. >> take any big-name, ibm, samsung, intel, all those companies are very excited about what can be done with this material, what this can be used for. >> graphine is seen as so valuable, it is now part of the global contest. there is a race to export it. britain was first to investigate this strange new substance, but it is not clear who will get the most out of it. quakes graphine, remember that name and remember that you heard it here first. that brings us to oppose. you can get updates all day on our website. from all of us here at world news america, thank you for watching. >> make sense of international news at bbc.com/news. >> funding for this presentation is made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu. newman's own foundation. and union bank. >> at union bank, our relationship mana

saw slow downs. apple and samsung, we love these companies because they had no europe last year, in china, no mexico. now we wish they had all three and there was business formation. let's focus on the other half of the equation. it's a little. where the money is going. last night china heads to one more marketable session. holy cow, courtesy of new attitude. the gold double digit growth is taking up the fxi. follow along, but it is taking up to the ancillary chinese place, like coach. did you see that today. rallying more than $2. we are seeing steady names in big commons. totalling chinese demand, truck demand. this one won't stop climbing. i say watch starbucks which is a gigantic expansion. i think it's going terrific clee. and that stock is taking a hit because of disassociation with the people's of republic, it's coming back strong. nike was hurt but that's becoming a thing of the past and buyers are piling in. the worst is over for certain at least in china. how about winn? nonetheless, steve win has put a lot of resources into mack could you macou. things are getting bet

of samsung. >> supply chain did get worked out. >> possible that expectations were too high to begin with? this was a stock last career that could do no wrong and the expickses were possibly at the stage we don't do it rival. injuriesors expects a lot more because they depend on innovation. >> people were kiss accounted on the sale numbers. let are the the competitive land way. i feel like they are in fablet describe. apple is not giving that to them. >> i don't think a lot of people want big-screen phones. what is this galaxy note? it's huge. 5.5 inches. i do agree. they need to get in and release more than one phone a year because ore ways they will get stomped by samsung. be aggressive in china and areas where you can have access to 7.5 million subscribers there. >> the feeling was that steve jobs was apple. are you in denial at this point that losing such a -- i mean, how do you even quantify what he meant to that company in terms of innovation and operation that he's still gone. >> a design guru and going to kweet quality. >> what was steve jobs really good at? not only innovation bu

to be growing largest competitors samsung reported mrof fitprofit increasing in large part because of the galaxy phone. and cheaper smart phones. is that something apple should do? >> we talked about samsung three or four months ago. they had a bullseye on their back so they could sell the products at large margins. cheap competitors come into the market develop a better product at a lower cost. what they are doing is going after the lower end of the spectrum of these phones and mo more important the international market. not everybody can afford a 5, $600 phone. samsung they are taking market shares. >> apple has said they will not reduce lower products to pursue consumers interested at a low price point. >> that's their stand. >> i want to ask you about the possible child labor concerns in chene gn china. how do you think that will effect the stock? >> they are one of the solid companies in trying to do things the right way. this is an area in terms of manufacturing they have gone a long way to try to do it the right way. there's always going to be a in the oyster. apple thought they had this

it to be different this time i don't know. but now android is samsung there's one guy half of all the units in north america. samsung. >> one company, a south korea company is one half of all the android operating systems in america? >> the same size as apple on a unit basis so if you're an applications developer you look at apple as more attractive because people pay a lot of money for xwraps and not so much on android. part is because there aren't as many apps and they don't work as well because it's harder to make one app work across everything. now that samsung is big i think he developed for samsung only which means google is going to lose control of their own operating system. they've already lost control of the part done by amazon so i would have -- the thing that's so amazing to me is that the big companies have huge opportunities now. microsoft owns skype, the telecommunications, the most important telecom system in the emerging world they have 400 million active users which is more than e number users of windows these days. >> rose: 400 million -- >> like over a hundred million who pay the

of the company say, all right, let's take a hard look before we switch out. >> it's not even apple or samsung. in terms of global market share, the top five, i mean, r.i.m.'s not up there, but zte is up there, along with samsung and apple. it's not just samsung and apple versus r.i.m. at all. it's r.i.m. versus everybody else. >> 79 million subscribers. >> market share for these guys, 5%. two years ago, 20%. i mean, a lot has gone on while they have been trying to get this thing ready. the question is, how much has android and ios taken out of the room. we will see. the presentation at 10:00. jon fortt has tried out the software and is relatively impressed. they'll not show their super bowl ad, so they say. we'll find out. jim, you are the ray lewis of our team today. you're playing hurt. you got the big brace on your arm, but this time it's your voice. you're amazing. >> san francisco, watch out. >> well, talk about missions, let's talk about amazon. set to open at new all-time highs. the online retailer is better than expected profit margins, that is the key story here. as we said earlier a

to competitors, particularly samsung with its popular galaxy smartphone. finally, today there were reports apple dramatically cut orders for iphone 5 components, due to weak demand. to be sure, apple has not confirmed soft sales with hard numbers. but, experts it would not surprise them if consumers were sour on iphone 5. >> it may be significant, we just came through the consumer electronics show and virtually all of the high profile phones that were introduced there had very large screens. some manufacturers like samsung have done very well with screens that are five inches or more in size. the iphone 5 is a four inch screen. >> reporter: apple is still far more profitable than any other consumers electronics firm in the world. but, analyst's celestial expectations have led to a crushing fall for apple shares. since hitting a high of $705 in september, the stock has lost nearly 30%. the selloff has trigged a big debate on wall street. are the shares cheap enough to buy, or is the market darling done? apple bulls argue the gadget maker has a p.e. of just 11. apple bears say the company's days a

days target matches the price. this is effective immediately. samsung operating profit is add a record level of last three months of 2012 because of demand if galaxy phones and analysts say samsung benefited from slower than expected sales from iphone 5. and at&t says they sold ten million smart phones last quarter, a record. and the bill customers generate twice as much revenue as other customers. dow and s&p 500 are on the defensive today, we start getting earnings rolling in and that occurs later this morning with alcoa and silicon valley index which is higher. >> thank you very much. >> microphone caught leigh glaser and i talking about the ultra sound party. >> sell tickets. make a profit. >> but the fog is really dense in the not bay and now it is starting to push south into san jose. this is a live look with the visibility on the freeway and live doppler 7 hd is not picking up moisture. it will be a dry day today. we will check out the visibility down to seven mile visibility right now in san jose. you can see lesser amounts less than a mile at livermore and concord. the north b

. those delays disappointed investors. >> there's a short window of opportunity. remember samsung is getting ready for its brand new launch of its new samsung galaxy s4. apple is actually bringing the launch of next iphone 5s. so, the sooner they get it out the better. >> reporter: once out, they will be available on all major u.s. carriers, and it looks like the subsidized price will range from $149 to $199. still, will people beyond diehard blackberry fans actually buy the phones? >> start with suzanne's question i was a long time blackberry user. about a year ago, i finally switched. why should i switch back? >> you know the famous home button on the bottom of the device, you don't need this anymore. you don't go in and out of applications. you have it all at your fingertips at the same time. and you can take action on it without opening any other applications. >> reporter: but, if you're worried that blackberry isn't hip enough for you, the company had one more surprise: a new addition to its payroll. our new global creative director, ms. alicia keys. >> they did a very nice j

a samsung supplies almost 500. we think if apple do sign with major carriers like china mobile, like ntd.com, that can be a driver. then finally one more thing that can juice earnings is to have $137 billion of cash. $40 billion of that is on -- we expect the company to become more aggressive with the cash distribution and buybacks over the next 12 to 18 months. in terms of -- this is where i do agree with the other speaker. it is going to take time to repair this. we think an iphone 5 refresh comes out in june. a low end iphone which i would highlight is not in anybody's estimates today may come out in september. and the buybacks in q4. but the issue being there's not much in the next few months. even i would concede. >> jeff, what about all that? a lot of positives for apple here. >> let's talk about china growth for a minute. emerging market growth in general is going to have a lot to do with the price point that apple is going to be able to deliver their products. when we saw walmart come out with the iphone and prices lower, you had to see that there was an issue in margins. i would

smartphone shipments came from apple compared to samsung's 31%. fisher price is recalling about 800,000 rock and play sleepers due to the risk of mold exposure. early birds will have to wait for their tax returns this year. the irs announced it will not begin taking 2012 filings until january 30th, more than a week later than usual. that's due to delays tied to the fiscal cliff deal. meanwhile, you may have heard about an idea getting some currency shall we say online that could solve the nation's latest fiscal crisis, the debt ceiling. a white house petition to mint trillion dollar platinum coins has gotten nearly 7,000 signatures in one week. now it's estimated here a coin really worth a trillion dollars would be the size of a solid platinum 747. by weight of course. on the other hand if you want to go broke in the new year one new york restaurant has a four course meal priced at $2,013. it comes with two pounds of lobster, truffle, wine and a limited edition versaci plate. heading down under, the name under the golden arches will not be mcdonald's. in honor of australia day it will be cha

and samsung continues today in a san jose courtroom. the two companies are fighting over patent and trademark infringement on several fronts. now, the hearing today could lead to a new ban on samsung products being sold here in the u.s. apple claims that 19 of samsung's devices, including the galaxy and note products, use eight apple patents and it's not being expected -- compensated. similar battles are being fought across europe. >>> sales in china may be down for kfc. this is after the chinese government started to support them with poultry. it expects a 6% drop in revenue in same sales stores there. sales in china had been expanding. >>> mcdonald's is expanding its test of a new menu tie tell. they could be adding mighty wings to its chicken offerings. they were tested successfully in atlanta and now chicago will get to try them. one thing that could keep them from going national is the increasing cost of wings. the prices have gone up on wings. >>> mcdonald's changing its name but only in australia. and only temporarily. the people of call it macs. it's in honor of australia day.

generation smartphones. but sales figures say it's fallen behind samsung. possibly even lg worldwide. meanwhile, a federal judge says apple's ceo tim cook will have to testify about allegations apple entered a secret agreement with other tech companies not to steal each other's employees some years ago. this morning the former head of palm told reuterses that then-apple ceo steve jobs actually threatened to hit palm with expensive patent suits if it kept hiring apple executives. it's easy to forget it wasn't that long ago palm actually worried apple. they were very early to smartphones and nabbed a number of very talented apple leaders. back to you. >> scott mcgrew, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> first came the fire and then the ice. >> that's right. this is what the weather caused. a chicago warehouse gutted by flames now just looks like an ice castle. it was so cold when firefighters were dousing the abandoned warehouse with water and it turned into ice instantly. this happened last night in chicago. a five-alarm fire ripping through the building. temperatures dipping to a

by the likes of samsung and apple, so much so that the value of this company has fallen by 90% in the past few years. a big fall. let me explain in detail. it has been a while since blackberry generated this much buzz, at least a month -- at least amongst tech watchers. but the blackberry 10, the newest smart phone operating system, it comes with a new line of handsets. the manufacturers certainly hope that this will revive the company's fortunes with the newly appointed ceo looking to turn their future around. >> he needs to see this work well and needs to see consumers have some level of excitement. frankly, the bar for excitement and success is relatively low. we are not looking for them to overtake apple, but 5% market share would be a home run. >> set to be unveiled in the next few hours, let's talk about the latest update on the dream liner. two japanese airlines have confirmed that they found problems with the jet batteries months before there were forced to make an emergency landing. they said they had in fact notified boeing of the problem as early as october. >> we have learned that

the best possible picture. phones like samsung and galax and lg and lumina 920 offer this feature. if someone ruins a shot by walking in on it you can remove them. >> tap what you don't want in the know to and the camera takes it away. on some phones can you set it to certain words like "cheese" and the camera takes the picture. ever miss a shot because you did not take it fast enough? the lg senses when your finger is about do snap a photo and takes multiple shots so you do not miss the moment. with smart 15s, getting smarter, you will have fewer excuses for taking a bad photo. >> consumer reports expected to see these features begin to show up on traditional cameras in the coming year. the samsung galaxy and digital camera allow you to combine the best takes of each person for multiple photos and combine them all into one picture. >> vacation photos about to get better. >> people could take photos at the maverick surf competition with the surfing world ready to descend on the san mateo coast. >> duped? or deception? the romantic hoax entangling a star notre dame football player

that samsung has come on very strong. when you go to a resaler, the sales for samsung are much stronger than they used to be. i think this shift has got to be acknowledged. as henry blodgett said, the stock is inexpensive. when you have something that is old news, new news, it doesn't matter, there is a continuing recognition that something is just not as great at apple that it used to be. >> i think we can make the argument all day and all night, the valuation, cash on hand, dividend that apple is paying. at the same time you can make that case for a lot of other tech stocks out there. they pay a dividend and yet the stocks don't move much anymore. and i'm thinking of like a microsoft, for instance. >> well, i was just reiterating what henry was saying. >> right. >> i feel that, again, there's a lot of things that are subtly wrong with apple. the new itune iteration is just hated. i don't know a soul who likes it. it's very clear that there are real issues involving the ipad mini and whether it's as exciting as it used to be. there is no omg factor. it's just -- frankly, as my daughter said

the way to the bank. apple has real competition from samsung. with an android operating system with the visionaries from google. sure the market's big, but samsung's beating apple in cell phone share and perhaps more important, apple's phones may not be good enough to take that share back. tablets are terrific. but apple's lost the invinceability that extends to the tablet market. apple has compounded the problem by releasing a faulty map app, a new cord, and i like the old one, and a disliked itunes iteration. it's no longer the only game in town. amazon's total addressable market if it can perfect same-day delivery, which it is going to do with all of these warehouses, is literally all of retail, everything, everything sold at costco, walmart, supermarket, department store, food store, hardware store around the globe. maybe one day selling houses and boats if u.p.s. can figure out a way to deliver them. the addressable market may be no longer than the personal computer and cell phone replacement segment. and many think in a few years, those markets will be saturated. nobody w

last year in the patent battle with rival samsung. the jury found samsung infringed on some but not all of apple smartphone and tablet patents. the judge says the jury got it right. and apple has not been able to identify specific losses it has suffered as a result. she also denied requests by both companies for a new trial. >>> it's a very big day for research in motion. the company kicks off a long awaited and overdue makeover for the blackberry. the ceo will show off the first phone with the new blackberry 10 operating software at an event in new york this morning. r.i.m. redesigned the system embracing the apps, touch screen and multimedia experience prevalent on rival devices. blackberry 10 received favorable reviews on blogs and analysts say there may be room for r.i.m. to make a comeback and investors may be thinking the same thing as the stock nearly doubled since hitting a nine-year low back in september. >>> we'll see what happens. shartia brantley at cnbc, thank you. >>> for the first time since it opened, the kennedy center is planning a major expansion. this is a simulated

on your apple hat, all right? they would rather do business with samsung's chip, even though samsung is their biggest competitor, than switch to intel. >> what are we missing? there's uniform negativity here. we'll look back on it at end of this year and say, wait a second, we should have thought of that. >> don't throw that. >> that pc was bad, and they had every right to go out the window. all right, i've calmed down. >> there's no hope? >> anytime you have that budget, you can do it. i like stacy very much. it's a great manufacturer. there's hope. >> okay. >> there's hope. same level of hope. silver lining theory i call it. >> okay. when we come back, a wall street analyst known for being a longtime bear on netflix. and from textbook reynolds to the linked-in for college students, we'll talk to former yahoo! ceo.

there is also a subsidy for the samsung galaxy. when you've only got two devices to choose from, not enough competition for these carriers to say, no, we're not going to pay that much. that certainly would seem to be something here that investors are going to continue to pay attention to. the margins are the key here. we'll see. high multiple stock, 15 times, does have a nice dividend as you point out. investors may be looking closely at the margin number for their guidance for the year, despite what are some positive comments. >> we love the stuff. how does it change. how does the metric change. if we look at the fios numbers, they start making money on the dvr, no, now it's just wireless. >> you don't want to forget about the other important parts of the business. there's a wire line business, and that's where they took the sandy charge in terms of the wire line. the positive effects from the union deal that will start to be felt this year. but wireless is the key for this company. it's what moves the stock. it is the most important component by far. this is a giant player that has had ex

it hit it. the stock is down about 17%. >> behind the rifle samsung with the group international data corporation with fewer iphone in the third quarter of last year and that ran apple's operating system for how many phones are running on samsung. tablets as well and apple is expected to hold on to the market share. not as high as it uslly does. android is catching up. you are talking about how we got this fascination with apple and it may not be all that. >> no and there reports they may sell iphone to keep them cheaper and so many different types of phones out there and a lot of new technology that people are excited about is not always apple. >> true. one analyst said apple is still a category killer. when was the last time you saw anybody waiting in line for a samsung device. we still see the lines. >> it may happen. they have a monopoly. you have another one and another one. >> you feel hooked. >> you won't spend the money to switch. >> a landmark that spoke a seven-year streak. >> a confession? reports say he admitted doping to oprah winfrey, but how far did he go? >> the unlike

. this is also gesture technology? >> samsung series 7, this is also gesture, nontouch. it is touch as well. this does a little bit of both. if you're looking for devices -- there are some different combinations, things you can do without touch, things you can do with touch. you don't want to get oil, vinegar all over your keyboard. wave at the computer. >> that's great. this is ingenious. we've been through superstorm sandy here. a lot of people lost power. this is a way to bring light into your life when there is no electricity. >> it's called luminaid. charge it in the sun for five hours. >> pouch that folds flat like this. >> waterproof. you blow it up and it looks like this. then basically to turn on the light it has two settings with this little power button. it will be hard to see maybe in the studio. you can see lights being generated from that. >> you store half a dozen of those and you blow them up at a time when you need them, you've got light in an entire room. >> you do. they're waterproof, puncture proof. two women, one from dartmouth, the other from columbia university came u

samsung crushing the competition. you ask is apple next. i bring this up, because, of course, several -- you know, a couple months ago we saw the case. >> yeah. >> about how we heard samsung might be driven from business because apparently their smartphones copied from the iphone. but things seem to be going really, really well for them right now. >> well, that litigation is outstanding. but, you know, and ongoing, i should say. but in the rest of the world, it's not so important. that's number one. number two, it's not possible that the u.s. government is going to shut samsung down from distributing phones in the united states. not going to happen. and samsung is beating apple and smartphones and the rest of the world. they're neck and neck in the united states. and droids are a very, very compelling product versus these iphones. >> -- >> the galaxy note 2. apple has already reported they're ordering less supplies, they think demand is dipping. everyone you talk to seems to like samsung. and now people say blackberry has a chance to survive with the blackberry 10. it's funny how in a

ago. you look at the third-quarter share loss. 14.6% down from 23% a year ago. you look at samsung's growth, and samsung at 31% of worldwide shipments, from 8.8%. so we're seeing these two sort of cross paths here with samsung on the upswing, samsung yesterday reporting a record year, and apple on the down side. >> how long is tim cook going to subsidize its biggest enemy, samsung, and not go to taiwan semiconductors? do something about this south korean invasion. samsung is apple around the world. >> no doubt about it. took that nice train from london to paris. it goes a lot faster than amtrak, just so you know. >> does it lose money every year? >> no apple iphones to be found. but you saw a lot of galaxiegal >> you know, i've got to tell you, apple, wow, what a powerful hurt it's being put on a lot of people. this was one of those stories that everybody owns, and now everybody's saying, what the heck. >> right. >> got to break some news here with mary thompson. i think she's back at headquarters, news on aig. >> as we all know, the company's board is meeting today. and evidently

. okay? look at that! that's a display from samsung that can flex and bend without breaking. i don't know. i just though that was amazing. they call it the yume, and they say it could be used in phones and tablets one day. he says the technology is unlikely to appear in a device as soon as this year, samsung just wanted to show off what it could do. certainly impressed me. >>> it's been 525 days since the u.s. lost its top credit rating. what are we doing to get it back? leon panetta has ordered departments to start cutting costs, in case they don't reach a deal on spending. probably a pretty smart move from the defense secretary. >>> now our third story "outfront." breaking news. the center for disease control has just told cnn that the flu is now at epidemic levels in the united states. right now, widespread, in 41 states. here's the latest map from the centers of disease control. all that red is high flu activity. now i'm going to flip it to show you the same time last year, green, minimal activity. i mean, a totally different picture. this year's flu season came sooner than expected a

. >> there's competition. >> from samsung. a lot of people are criticizing apple for its execution, some of these new products are not panning out. i don't want to get too in the weepds but it's not-- weeds, bu perfect picture. >> remember how we thought about apple a year ago. we said never since microsoft in 1999 have we had a single stock contribute 10% to a 10% market rally. turned out that was top tick for apple and we weren't making a fundamental statement. look it had become as we were discussing before a bit of a cult stock. my broader issue here is tech in general i think looks attractive but the enterprise of tech, the capital spending part of tech, tech spending was depressed. capital spending was depressed last year because of public policy uncertainty. we think that's going dissipate through the year. the consumer is in a worse spot primarily because of tax hikes. supply side economics, right. so apple is a consumer company for the most part and i think that any consumer company will struggle. >> that's an important point. let's follow that point. is part of this apple drop

other companies, gross margins, something made by a samsung, for heaven sake. i thought they were like a steel company. the stock is reacting to how much money is being made on each item. the dreaded nitpick of gross margins. that nasty number that inferiors, competitors are suddenly making superior product at least in the mind of some of the less savvy consumers out there, the superior. what must be going to apple is the fact these analysts actually think they need ammo to stay positive, ammo to do something as simple as breathing, which is to reiterate the buy ratings. i can see tim cook turning to his colleagues puzzled saying, it's as if we have to come up with something breakthrough, something dazzling for them beyond what's obvious. which is how great we are. but at some point, your company's products may face genuine competition. in many places on earth, other companies may be taking share, which is what's happening with that samsung phone. or you might have product lines in decline like the iphone. like the ipad. and it's a funny thing, when that happens, you actually do need t

. >> samsung. >> rose: samsung is coming on strong. they're the star of place where's you used to make big speeches. >> none of them understand software that deals complex information, like microsoft does. in fact, really only of those, google is the only one that is it are movie a software company. and so the good news for mace is that the magic of the future-- visual recognition, speech recognition, letting you navigate rich amounts of information-- that is very software centric. and the needs services, your memories, that will be kept in the cloud for you. that kind of plays to microsoft's strepgz. now, we need to show people that's the case by building these wonderful new cloud services. if you want to look at what your kids did or what you did in the past, now it's so hard. you've got photos here leathers there, bills over here. it's completely disorganized. in the future, with the right privacy controls which is a tricky part of it, your whole life of where you went, going back and sharing things with others you think they would be interested in. it's going to be utterly different. w

. >> reporter: good morning. the iphone still a hot seller but samsung has been padding its lead over apple with its lower cost devices especially overseas. and it's been long rumored that apple would come up with a less expensive iphone to compete. the "wall street journal" says that we could see that lower end iphone by the end of the year. one of the keys in lowering the price would be using less expensive materials. in particular, for the body, perhaps relying on polycarbonate plastic rather than aluminous glass as we see in current iphone models. it is expected that samsung will sell about 290 million smartphones this year. apple around 180 million. >>> there is a big deal in the wireless network space that could be under way. sprint already trying to take over clear wire networks. it already owns more than half of the company but dish network is now stepping in and trying to outbid sprint for that network. dish already provides a number of services wants to add voice to that. we'll see if they can possibly get past the offer from sprint which is al
